The reason that hotel keepers in Clifton don't wear diamonds and go in the style beiting their cali ing, is that they have got to give away So much available food to the pet dogs of their boarders. Every male boarder in this burg has one or more beautiful, mangy pup that he feeds, not from tbe crumbs that fan from his landlords table, but from tho scraps that would mako that most edible conglom- crate called hash. Observe the approaches to any first class Cliff ton hotel, on any day at any meal time, and you will see men com ing from all directions each with a hungry look in his tiger-eyc, and a gunny sack under his arm.
